Second To Last Love (2016)

In the bustling world of television production, Kang Min Joo (Kim Hee Ae) stands tall as a pragmatic, single woman in her 40s. While her professional life thrives, her personal life lies dormant, leaving a hidden longing for love that she outwardly dismisses. Across town, the earnest Go Sang Sik (Ji Jin Hee) leads as an environmental facility chief at city hall, equally convinced that romance holds no place in his life. Yet, when their paths inevitably intersect, love quietly creeps in, rekindling a flame they had both long since extinguished. As Kang Min Joo and Go Sang Sik grapple with their unexpected emotions, they are enveloped in a complex web of relationships. Go Sang Sik's spirited younger sister, Go Mi Ryeo (Kim Seul Gi), a talented webtoon writer, and Min Ji Sun (Stephanie Lee), a family friend's former lover, weave themselves into the narrative, creating an intricate love triangle that challenges the hesitant romantics. Second To Last Love, a vibrant remake of the popular 2012 Japanese drama, is the brainchild of director Choi Young Hoon, who has significantly evolved since his early days on The Painter of the Wind. Screenwriter Choi Yoon Jung, famed for her works including Mr. Baek, Emergency Couple and Lie to Me, masterfully crafts a tale that delves into the unexpected corners of love, showcasing her fine-tuned understanding of complex human emotions. Premiering on SBS on July 30, 2016, this engaging drama unfolds over 20 captivating episodes, filling the slot left by Beautiful Gong Shim. With a star-studded ensemble including Ji Jin Hee, Kim Hee Ae, Kim Seul Gi, Stephanie Lee, Lee Soo Min, and Kim Kwon, Second To Last Love offers a heartwarming exploration of love found in the most unlikely places, reminding viewers that the heart, indeed, wants what it wants.

Second To Last Love is a comedy show featuring Ji Jin-hee.
